Kings' Anze Kopitar: Expected to return

Kopitar (upper body) has been added to the active roster, putting him on track to return against the Islanders on Wednesday night, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

Analysis:

As noted in the report, Kopitar is likely to return from his five-game injury layoff. The two-way pivot has gotten off to a slow start this season, with only a 5.4 shooting percentage and eight points in 15 games -- a poor return on fantasy owners' investments in a guy who went in the early rounds of most drafts. However, considering his decade of exemplary NHL service, he's a great bet to turn it around now that he's back on the ice.
